I always pronounced it engine-x (fluent as one word) but never thought of it meaning engine lol

n gin x -> en gin ex -> "enginex" spoken, nginx thought

As always, first impressions count. There is no way I'm starting to call it engine x now, except for fun.

hnn-geenks

It's, ummm, literally the first thing on the website (nginx.org). Tell me you didn't read the docs without telling me you didn't read the docs

btrfs -> butterface

I'm not sure what the English pronunciation of "n-jinx" sounds like but I'm pronouncing it "engines" as in plural of engine.

I just kind of knew that, but not sure how.

And GIF is pronounced GIF

My workplace calls it "n-jinx", we know its nonstandard but its still what is understood by the team.

Not En Jinnicks?

"nnnnn-ghinks"
